The Hunt for the Chicago Strangler

Very good in bringing awareness to how black women do not get the attention they deserve when missing and/or murdered. This case should have had a task force a long time ago.

I've never in my life wanted a documentary, if we could call it that, to be over and done with. The bias towards police and political wining is such an annoying theme throughout that it misses the entire point. The "but what about white people...." nonsense was so 2019 and needs to stay there. If they had focused on the actual crimes then maybe they could of helped these women victims but here we are.

I guarantee if all the ratings were organized by demographics, it is conservative, white individuals giving it low ratings.

This documentary was amazingly done and brought to light something I didn't know about. I have lived in Chicago for 3 years and had no idea about this and the gross negligence black victims have faced in the investigations. As a white woman, I can't fully understand the reality of the dangers that black women face, but I am so sorry that their voices and the voices of their loved ones, have not been heard before now. The mention of media coverage issues was so prevalent as well. I remember when Gabbi Petito was missing, she received huge amounts of national coverage. I'm glad she did and hope her family finds peace; but during the same time, so many black and brown men and women were going missing and getting little or NO coverage. Jelani Day was missing at the SAME time.

Thank you so much for educating me on this and I hope now justice can be served and this documentary makes it loud enough that it can't be ignored!

True crime is something we enjoy watching in our home, but this program has very little to do with the investigation and really doesn't focus on the women who lost their lives. Instead, it's just a lot of people bellyaching about how the whole world is against them. Who are the real victims here?? What a disgrace.

Hopefully this series will bring more awareness to this serial killer and potentially finally catch the murderer. Chicago Police have refused to investigate anything regarding dead hookers stuffed in garbage cans for over 20 years. Their personal moral judgments should not dictate the murder investigations they pursue or not. Even though sex work yes is illegal, those people deserve their day in court for that crime, instead of being executed, while the police seem to look the other way for over 20 years.

An earlier opinion expressed in the comments section here, basically insinuated these people deserved it. Sounds like a Chicago PD officer or one of their boot licking relatives that left that review. Which further proves the point why this documentary was needed so badly, because the police do nothing.

The police are so wrapped up in being a cop as their identity, as soon as any criticism for their poor work is thrown their way they take it as a personal character assassination, like children do.

They definitely have a DNA sample and they could have matched up by now if they put forth ANY effort. The killer was most likely in jail from 2014 to 2017. When anyone is arrested they take fingerprints, pictures and a DNA sample.

The Chicago police are basically lazy and have not put forth and iota of effort to catch this serial killer.
